    I hope Mr SAs sleepiness is nothing sinister.

    Another sending good wishes for Mr SA - your awareness could give him an advantage because many people wouldn't know his sleepiness could be significant. I remember you mentioned this the other day, too. Are you going to mention it to his consultant. Of course, it could be an infection or something else though. 

    I haven't seen the spray thing at L1dl but it could be useful. I wonder if our branch has any in?

    Thank you all. He’s not as sleepy today, we’ve been out this morning and this afternoon DS and the GKs visited, so he hasn’t had time for a nap. If I was worried he has an open appointment with the consultant and I can call them if need be. He’ll never be officially discharged despite being clear for almost 12 years. 

    We went to the big Mr T this morning. I bought a few things we won’t need until next week as there’s plenty left in the food budget and it will give me a head start on the next budget period. 

    DS and the GKs have been and gone. It’s DGS’s birthday on Monday, I just put some money in his card because he’s no idea what he wants. I hardly see them when they visit as they just want to be gaming with DD. 

    @Cherryfudge the garden pressure sprayer was last week’s middle aisle special but they had loads left yesterday. I’ve had a go with it today and can confirm it’s brilliant. Mr SA even cleaned his scooter with it. They’re just £19.99 so worth it if you can find one. 

    Tonight’s dinner is beetroot burger with wedges and salad. Rosé Prosecco is in the fridge chilling. 

    Mr SA is pestering for a new pair of crocs and wants to go to the little local-ish town for some this weekend. I really don’t feel like traipsing anywhere this weekend as it takes such a big chunk out of the day and I’ve got loads to do. I’ve done so much walking over the last week or so, I just want to potter around and get jobs done. My legs are like solid rock, you can knock on them and nothing moves! He’s like a toddler when he wants something, he wants some crocs and he wants them now, he won’t stop going on about them until he gets some 😖

    Tell him you've checked and they've sold out & that you're on a list for when they get more stock.
